He was actually more based on George Foreman and Sonny Liston.
This - particularly the 70s version of Foreman - not the friendly grandfather who made a feel good comeback and made 9 figures selling electric grills.
Rocky III is also interesting, whereas Clubber, more or less, out "Rockys" Rocky in their first fight. He trains in a simple, primitive style (much as Rocky had for the fights with Apollo) - while Rocky, for his farewell fight, is having a more Ali (sorry, Apollo) style training camp with girls, champagne, reporters, etc.
I never really appreciated the movie until Rocky 5 - compared to that, III is a masterpiece.
